No other IP is as prominent and widely respected in horror games as the Resident Evil series. Not only has it achieved sales of nearly 150 million, it is also Capcom's largest IP, and it still maintains its popularity through new works and remakes of classic works.
Last year, Capcom released a remake of Resident Evil 4. This work has been widely praised since its release and lives up to the classic status of its predecessor. Subsequently, the original game recently celebrated its 19th anniversary, marking an important milestone for the series.
Although Resident Evil 4 is nearly 20 years old, it still provides a compelling gaming experience. Although the game's controls and mechanics may not be up to modern standards, it's not hard to understand why 2005's game was such a sensation.
As the first game in the series to get rid of the fixed top-down perspective, "Resident Evil 4" marks an important transformation for Capcom. The game was a huge success and is often credited with popularizing this perspective throughout the industry.
This perspective brings players closer to the action, adding a new level of immersion and excitement to each encounter. The story also resonated with fans.
All in all, Resident Evil 4 was ahead of its time. The recent remake has given it a new coat of paint, allowing nostalgic fans to try it from a new perspective and make it shine again.
